I’ve Got The World On A String - Ivie Anderson, Bunker Hill

Ah, you know not everybody told me that my girl can’t dance

She’s mine, all mine

You know not everybody told me that my girl can’t dance

She’s mine, all mine

Well, when she can’t dance, she’d a-show the old man

But what you say about her, well I don’t give a damn

Everybody told me that my girl can’t dance

She’s mine, all mine

You know not everybody told me how my girl can’t twist

She’s mine, all mine

You know not everybody told me how my girl can’t twist

She’s mine, all mine

Well, when she can’t twist, she’s got sugar on her lips

She always going twisting, I never gonna miss it

Everybody told me that my girl can’t dance

She’s mine, all mine

You know not everybody told me how my girl ain’t cute

She’s mine, all mine

You know not everybody told me how my girl ain’t cute

She’s mine, all mine

Well, when she ain’t cute, she’s goin' over to you

There’s no one to please, 'cause my cutie fruity

You know not everybody told me how my girl ain’t cute

She’s mine, all mine, hoo!

You know not everybody told me how my girl ain’t cute

She’s mine, all mine

You know not everybody told me how my girl ain’t cute

She’s mine, all mine

Well, when she ain’t cute, she’s goin' over to you

There’s no one to please, 'cause my cutie fruity

You know not everybody told me how my girl ain’t cute

She’s mine, all mine, hoo!

She’s mine, she’s mine!

I love her, I got her!

Ain’t 'bout her, my cutie fruity!

Sugar, …(fade out)
